Evaluation of a Protocol for Integrated Speech Audiometry.

Conclusions: Spondee words can be used routinely to obtain reliable, valid, and clinically efficient measures of MCLs and UCLs for speech, in a protocol combined with the SRT. Spondees, presented singly, yielded the greatest level of efficiency overall. Results support a recommendation to obtain an ascending measurement of MCL prior to a descending measurement and to establish the MCL by averaging the 2 values.
